Gemstone 12B, abstract acrylic landscape by Carol Nelson

Gemstone 12B

This is another experiment with enlarging a 6x6 inch painting into a larger format, 12x12 inches in this case. The canvas is very heavily textured, and I also experimented in using a Tombo water soluable pen for the black lines.

When I spray the lines with water, they spread out, giving a fuzzy look that I like. I then have to go over the lines with an India ink pen to deepen the color.

This is the original 6x6 version on which I based the other painting. Both are available on my website. Click here to go to my website.
